<<<The 9th Circuit noted that, according to experts, about 40,000 out of the several million expected to vote in the recall election would lose out because of the normal 2.23 percent error rate in the punch-card technology. Those voters would tend to come from six heavily minority counties containing 44 percent of the state's voters, whereas 56 percent of the state's voting population would get the benefit of machines with an error rate of no more than 0.89 percent.>>> story.news.yahoo.com Question: How is it that error ratios of .89% to 2.23% are considered acceptable in a Democracy? We're not talking quantum mechanics here. Counting things is something a 3 year old can do with a reasonable degree of accuracy. If banks are able to count the dollars and pennies of every person in the United States, day in and day out, week after week, and month after month, what is the excuse of that size of error in counting votes? If my savings account came in 2.23% short for the month, and my bank said that was "normal", there would certainly be hell to pay.
